TIE COUNTS SCHEME.
The Concessions That EsaSe been OBJ
tained From the Chinese Govern
HAlNnA

The Concessions That Rave Been OBJ
tained From she Chinese Govern
intent
Washington special: The concessions
which Count AIitkiewicz has obtained
from the Chinese government are much
more important than they are generally
supposed to be, if the gentlemen who
are associated with the count are to be
believed. 1t seems from the statements
these gentlemen make that he went to
China for the purpose of securing the
telegraph and railroad rights of the en-
pire, and while there the project of the
bank, Of which so much has been said,
was developed, and he saw his oppor-
tunity and seized it. Count Mitkiewicz
Is one of the most shrewd tinanciers in
the United States, but he lacks the
necessary secretiveness which is so es-
sential to a good diplomat. 1t is said that
the Chinese government has appointed
seven commissioners to represent the en-
pire in America, and that the count has
been appointed one of the seven. IL Is
said TO be the purpose of the ENJOYS TO
make thorough study of the American
system of banking and coinage, as well
as the postal system which prevails in
the United States. Some years ago
Japan sent similar commission to this
country, and the result has been the
adoption of many of the American Gus
toms in the Japanese empire. Mitkie-
wicsy and the Chinese ambassador are
expected here next week. Arrangements
are now being made to show them all
that Is to be shown in the departments
L.
will be thoroughly explained to them.
1t IS thought that the new banking insti-
tuition in which Mitkiewicz will be
Philadelphia capital, and that it will be
the national bank of the Chinese en-
pire. 1t will have sole power TO issue
notes, and besides this it will have q
monopoly of the coinage of the empire.
A gentleman who is interested with Nit
kewicz in the Turnbull telephone says
it is the purpose of the Chinese govern
ment to abandon the system of coinage
which now prevails and adopt instead
some plan similar to that in vogue in
Japan. Paper money will be issued
similar to that issued by the national
banks in this country, and there is
to be new era in the Chinese financial
history which Will be of great benefit to
all merchants doing business with the
Flowry Kingdom. Nothing can be said
as to the details of the scheme which has
been laid out until the arrival of the
embassy. Count Mitkiewicz has rented
the house lately occupied by Secretary
Manning, which will be the headquar-
tiers from which all business will be
done. The six mandarins who COM
pose the embassy with Count Mitkie-
wicz will be quartered ut the Chinese
legation. The Chinese minister has
recently been ordered from Spain to
the United States in order that he may
be present to render any necessary as
sistance to the seven gentlemen who are
to collect the necessary data to enable
the home authorities to proceed with
their great reform scheme inteligently.
The Manning house is situated within a
few blocks of the building occupied by
the Chinese legation.

THE ANARCHISTS.
Interest Again Conferred In the DecIs-
Ion of the Supreme Court.

interest again Conferred In the DeeIS-
Ion of the Supreme Court.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 30.-As the time an
proaches for the converting of the supreme
court in Ottawa, public interest begins once
more to be concentrated on the anarchist
case, and opinions are freely exchanged as
to the probable fate of the seven men who
have had the sentence of death hanging
over them for over year. The opinion
most prevnlently held is that the sentence
OF the court which tried the case will be
affirmed, and that the sheriff. after
reasonable delay, will be or
dered to proceed with the execution
OF the condemned men. This opinion Ia
based on the fact that the supreme Judges
have delayed so long in filing theirIdecision.
Their usual custom, when they reverse and
remand case, is 20 file their opinion at
the earliest possible moment, so that the
states attorney may have as little troubIa
as possible in getting his witnesses To-
gether again and going on with new
trial, with the least possible delay, but
where they sustain the Judgment Of the
court below they do not file their decision
till the term following that in which it
was argued. This case was argued in the
March term and no decision has been filed,
and 80 arguing from the usual practice, it
Is concluded that the sentence will be sus-
tanned. If such shall be the decision, an
appeal will be taken to the supreme court
of the United States.

The Pork-Packing Industry Krresrtev-
ably Lost 90 Chicago.


ably Lost go Chicago.
chichgo Tribune.
Owing TO the unjust differentiation e
of the railways over 500, 600 hogs have beer
diverted from Chicago since March /
Omaha, which during the year preceding
and from March 1 to Aug. %, 1856,
slaughtered only 10000 hogs, has taker
400, 900 Of the animals and Kansas City
100, 900 away from Chicago during the lasi
six months. This is due to the fact that
the railways in computation have charged
90 per cent more for shipping the live hog
from Omaha to Chicago than for the dressed
animal.
The next discrimination is in favor of
Boston and Omaha as against Chicago. The
difference between the price of hos in
Chicago and Omaha is 10 cents per 100
pounds in favor of the latter city. Yet
with this difference the new school of Gull
ture known as the Boston packers purchase
the live hogs in Omaha and ship them
around Chicago to Boston for less money
than they eau purchase them here and
transport them to Boston. The difference
is not in the price of the hog but in the
discriminating freight rate. 1t was sup
posed that under the interstate law o long
haul could not possibly cost more than a
short haul.
The new school of culture, the Boston
packers, are the most recent and successful
rivals of the Chicago fraternity. They
ship cattle and hogs alive to Boston, and
manage to get freight rate so low that
they can dress their product on the Atlantic
coast and compete with the western
dressed beef companies.
The hog is not sensational or poetic
subject for the essayist. He is not af-
fected by the climate like cattle; he
rarely freezes in the blizzard, or dies
of thirst in the drouth, and affects
indifference about crop reports. He
doesn't even affiliate with cattle; does not
grow on the ranges; he thriyes all over the
states. and is never sick unless he gets into
patch of green cucumbers and suceumbs
to cholera. That this despicable animal
should by any possibility cause so much
emotion in these times of panic among
stockmen is most extraordinary. Here,
however, is the fact that when he is dressed
and ready for dinner he is given first-class
passage for so cents less money than when
he stands on his legs. gazes with untrans-
lated exclamation at the picturesque scenery
along the railway, and occasionally grunts
a recognition at the pretty schoolgirl with
dinner pail.
Gloom seems settling on various in
terests, and imprecations against the
odious construction of the law by railways
are heard on every hand. At the Aller-
ton packing company yesterday it was
believed that the pork slaughtering in
terests would have to leave Chicago for
more Western points or go out of the bust
ness. 1t was unaccountable in that quarter
that dressed pork could be shipped from
Omaha to New York cheaper than the live
hog could be brought TO Chicago, dressed,
and sent east; yet the loss of half million
hogs to Chicago in six months tells the
whole story.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Aug. 30.-Mail Agent
Henry Morgridge, of Milton Junction,
was killed to-day on the Rock Island rail-
road about the same place that Express
Messenger Nichols is supposed to have been
murdered, about half way between Joliet
and MinoolSa. The train was going
toward Chicago and Mail Agents Brant and
Morgridge occupied the mail car.
On arrival of the train at
Joliet, the remaining mail agent notified
the rest of the train hands that
MOrgredge was missing. He said he did
not miss Morgridge until the train reached
the coal chute near Joliet, five miles this
side of where the dead body was found,
with his brains dashed out. The whole
back of his head was mashed in, and
ghastly hole in the front part, his neck
broken, and blood running out of his ears,
nose and eyes A mail car chair was also
found near him, broken all to pieces.
The imprints of o mans hand were
found near the car door, and scratches, as
If grasping to keep from falling out. The
superstition Of many is that Morgridge sat
down in the chair near the door, and that
the chair broke and he fell out. Others
think there are suspicious circumstances
about it. Morgridge was an old employe,
having run on this road for ten years, and
was regarded as a careful and efficient mail
agent. The coroner's inquest was adj
jOurned over until tomorrow.

A Method in His Madness.

sAco, Me-, Sept 1.-Some of the friends OF
Frank G. McNeilly, the ASCENDING clerk of
the Saco savings bank, think he is deranged.
They say he has been acting very queerly
and has complained of head troubles He
had been living beyond his means ever since
he worked in the bank. a few days ago
when talking to friend about his future
plans, he said he expected TO be a thousand
miles away from here In September His
mother Is completely FRUSTRATED by the shock.

search Of the absconder. Bank Examiner

Excitement over the robbery of the Saco
and Bfddeford savings institution has shown
no signs of abatement. No clue to Me-
Neiiiy's hiding place has been obtained
today. The bank officials think MCNEIL, con-
fiscated the bonds ON Aug. ], while engaged
IN cutting coupons, and that he did not get
access 10 the security yaultthe day he left
the bank. What disposal he has made of the
negotiable bonds since Aug. is not known,
nut no has been making iruquent trips TO
taking steps toward selling them.

A Compromise on Tolls.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 3O.-Some time ago
it was stated that the Union Pacific bridge
company had determined to raise the
tolls, believing that the service
rendered was not adequately com
pensated by the rates now in
vogue, 2 cents per 100 pounds, or not to ex-
coed 81 a car load. The advance proposed
doubled these figures, and there was pro
test from the Chicago lines using the
bridge, on the ground that they were alb
sorbing the tolls in their rate charges, and
equalization rates, as between Coun-
Gil Bluffs and Omaha. Chairman
Faithorn, of the Northwestern Freight
bureau announces that he has effected a
compromise with Mr.. Potter, which is un.
derstood to be 2 cents hundred pounds,
and not to exceed So car load, which
means an additional dollar car load, in
stead of 81. as at first proposed.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS.
They Lay Down Principles for the
Party in Pennsylyania.

Aney AaY Down Principlea Tor the
Party in PennsylVania.
ALLENTOWN, Pa, Aug. 30.-The follow
ing is a synopsis of the platform of the
young democratic battalion, of Philadel.
phia, which will be presented upon the
assembling of the democratic state conven.
ton tomorrow:
There is but one political party in the
United States, which is the traditional
representative of democratic principles
There can not be two sets of principles or a
many sided policy existing in this party,
those who resist the affirmance of the car
dinal principles of democracy are not DEM
ocrats, and not worthy their acknowledge
ment or support. These traditional
principles are known. Jefferson
asserted them, and their affirmation
by Madison, Jackson, Polk, and Cleveland,
have canonized them as essential to the
integrity of the democratic party. Among
these time-hOnored and 1ndestructible doc
trlnes are inherent rights of the states,
limited and granted powers to the
federal government, within which con-
stitutiOnal limitation the federal authori-
ties can alone act. The powers
granted to congress are simply sufficient for
all the needs of the people. To enlarge
them by judicial constructions or legislative
usurpation, is an open violation of the or
ganic law on which our federal government
relies for its existence. A tax for the sup
port of the government is absolutely
necessary. A tax to protect manufacturers
only, and force laborers to strike
for their share of this protection, is not
within the purpose of the tariff tax, and
is an abuse of the duty to make laws for
the greatest good to the greatest number.
The immense surplus now in the federal
treasury, and daily increasing from taxa
ton by federal law, is positive evidence
of the abuse of such legislation.

A HUGE HAUL.
Made by a Bank Clerk i'm Whom Had
Been Placed Implicit Confidence.


SACo, Me-, Aug. 31.-Frank c. McNeilly, 10
years old, who has been employed in the
saco and Blddeford savings institution, has
mysterlously disappeared, taking with him
$500 in money, United States registered
bonds to the amount Of sls5,O00, and railroad
and municipal and other bonds, amounting,
as near as can be determined, to about SOL 900.
Though he left town Monday afternoon the
bank officers and his family have kept the
matter SO quiet that the news
did not leak out nm IL this morn
ing. The president, trustees, and cashier,
placed the greatest confidence in him. He
was acquainted with the combina ion OF
every lock IN the bank vaults. Cashier Kelly
Is also treasurer of the Mutual fire insurance
company. On Monday afternoon he left the
office, leaving McNeiliy to finish up the days
accounts. When Kelly opened the bank Tues
DAY morning he found that MONDAYS ac-
counts were not completed. The president
was notified, and the entire afternoon was
large amount Of gold and currency, which
McNelHy could easily have stolen, was
unmolested. President GoodalIe says the
loss Is so much less than surplus
that the bank will be perfectly safe, even ii
the amount taken by the ASCENDING clerk is
never recovered. The SIS5UO0 in United
states registered bonds cannot be used by the
thlet. The bank statement last MAY places
the surplus at $4,000. A notice has been
posted, stating that the bank is safe, and
Examiner Richards is expected here this
afternoon. Detectives have been engaged and
sent IN all directions. The ticket agent at

ing. He made no confession. Vast crowds
waited about the place Of execution during
the whole Of the night and kept up constant
bowling and yelling. When the chaplin who
was to otliciate at the execution arrived at
4:30 a. m, the mass OF people was so great
that he was almost prevented from reaching
the gate Of the prison.
Pranzini marched from his cell to the scat
fold with firm step and defiant air When
the executiOners seized him he resisted and
fought desperately, demanding that they let
MIN alone. The eXeCuEiOner5 OyerpOwercd

an instant had him securely bound. imme-
diately the terrible knife was started. II de-
scended with horrible slowness at first, but
then its movement quickened and the head OF
the murderer rolled into the basket The mob
outside became very dsorderly during the pro-
gress Of the execution.
Pranzini was awakened out OF n sound sleep

innocence and refused to make confession to
the priest, saying: Father, do your dutv.
